Hispanic Heritage Health Fair in Weston!

On a nice, pleasant day in the middle of October, where the cool breeze was preparing the seekers of truth for a most beautiful union with Divine Love, Latin Americans from Weston, FL gathered together at the Weston Regional Healthcare Hospital to learn about their healthcare options at the Hispanic Heritage Health Fair. Little did they know that they would be receiving the best healthcare option of all: their Self-Realization.

The Hispanic Heritage Health Fair’s main objective was to inform people about a better quality of life. The Health Fair targeted Latin families in Weston and gathered more than 800 people. The event was sponsored by Mujeres Latinas Impulsando Mujeres Latinas (MLIML) or Latin Women Empowering Latin Women.

We were very pleased to be part of such a worthy event. Among the vendors providing free information about medical insurance, blood pressure and cholesterol tests, were the Sahaja Yogis. It was a large enough fair that we got many seekers of truth flocking to our booth, but also small enough to be able to gather almost each and everyone by their hand. While some yogis were directing the seekers to the booth, others were waiting to give them realization at the booth. As each seeker approached the booth, we asked them: “English or Spanish?” We pointed to one side of the booth for English and the other side for Spanish. Most of the people were health oriented to begin with, which helped us to start a conversation about Sahaja Yoga.

This was one of our most successful events after a long time. Usually Sahaja Yogis have to distribute dozens of flyers until a few vendors even look at our booth. This time the majority of vendors were ready to leave their responsibilities at their own tables and receive the knowledge their Spirit was longing for.

Thankfully, with this fair, we hardly had a chance to breathe or even eat our lunch. After 12:00pm the booth next to ours started serving lunch. More people started coming to our shady area to sit and eat, and after some time they realized that their nabhis were still not satisfied. So, after a nice lunch, they too got their awakening. Some media people also got their realization and expressed their interest in having us in their newspapers or magazines.

All in all, it was very nice collective day, which gave the yogis and the seekers a lot of joy. The yogis were also happy that this would bring more seekers to the new Spanish program in Weston. We hope that more people will discover the beauty of Sahaja Yoga and become a part and the parcel of the Ocean of Love created by our Beloved Mother.

Jai Shri Mataji!
